It's hard to say the difference between American westerns and chivalrous heroes in Chinese culture, but in this film, who is the hero, the heroine and the two sheriffs? It should be said that everyone in American culture can be a hero! In our culture, even the birth of a hero must have celestial phenomena! In terms of emotion, if there is any ruthlessness between the sheriff and the heroine, it is also driven by righteousness! It may be unimportant if you don't want to! But is this thing complex or purer? It really became a problem! Look at this under the epidemic, culture? politics? people?

    This film educates us again: 1. If you want to kill, don't talk so much nonsense, which will only leave others with the opportunity to fight back; 2. After subduing a person, you must tie it with a rope, otherwise it will leave others with a chance to fight back. Revenge, justice, and protection of the strong and weak are the usual routines of Western movies. No wonder that Western movies are now declining, because there are no heroes in this era, but all kinds of freaks with unique skills.

    A retro and innovative western movie! As a western film, it is full of black humorous verbal warfare, and anti-traditional elements of feminization and de-heroism, but the spirit throughout the film can still maintain the fearlessness of the western style. In addition to the wonderful performance of the actors, Roger Deakins, the old partner of the Coen brothers, his photography and mirroring is the soul of the film.

True Grit quotes

  • Rooster Cogburn: I'm not a sharper. I am an old man sleeping on a rope bed in a room behind the Chinese grocery. I have nothing.

    Mattie Ross: You want to be kept in whiskey.

    Rooster Cogburn: I don't have to buy that, I confiscate it. I am an officer of the court. Ah, thank you. $100, that's the rate.

    Mattie Ross: I shall not niggle. Can we depart this afternoon?

  • LaBoeuf: I was within three hundred yards of Chelmsford once. The closest I have been. With a Sharp's carbine that is within range, but I was mounted and had the choice of firing off-hand or dismounting to shoot from rest, which would allow Chelmsford to augment the distance. I fired mounted... and fired wide.

    Rooster Cogburn: You cannot hit a man three hundred yards if your gun was resting on Gibraltar.

    LaBoeuf: The Sharp's carbine is an instrument of uncanny balance and precision.

    Rooster Cogburn: I've no doubt that the gun is sound.
